I will never stop being shocked at how easily this Government lies. And they do it ALL THE TIME. 🤥
#ableg

🚨Massive thread alert. 🚨

PS @albertaNDP, I'm stealing your image because it's perfect. 😁 Image
Exhibit A: The Allan inquiry. You've got a bunch of press secretaries, cabinet ministers, Savage, and Kenney all going on about what a success it was.

If you read the $3.5M report you would quickly find that Allan FOUND NO WRONGDOING
calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…
Exhibit B: Nixon says Fed government has "not invested in any significant way inside this province" to help Alberta and Canada meet its climate targets. @Jantafrench

Well you know, except
-Orphan Wells
-Billions for transit projects
-$100M for Low Carbon Leadership Fund
-etc
Exhibit C: Defend AB Parks
“I know Jason Kenney keeps saying we’re not selling your parks and to that he’s probably right, he’s not selling them, he’s delisting them at which point they can be sold,” said Konopnicki.
calgary.ctvnews.ca/albertans-reac…
Exhibit D: Coal Mining
"And that, my friends, is where Kenney is at. At this stage in his time here, he is so positive of his ability to manipulate our reality, he now thinks he can tell us the sun is shining during a downpour." Thanks @shmitzysays
medicinehatnews.com/commentary/opi…
Exhibit E: We weren't involved in the municipal elections, nope, that wasn't us campaigning for, donating, and endorsing our favourite candidates. Nooope. 🤥

tiktok.com/@sdurrell/vide…
Exhibit F: "Rural Doctors aren't leaving"
"New AHS documents, obtained through FOIP, show that Jason Kenney’s Health Minister repeatedly lied in the legislature about the growing number of Alberta doctors resigning from rural hospitals..."
albertandpcaucus.ca/news-events/po…
Exhibit G: Curriculum. Remember when the UCP said they had Chief Littlechild's support for the curriculum review and then he said it was misrepresented? Yup, I remember.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
Exhibit H: I never called for a Niqab ban 🤥
"Premier Kenney is denying he supported a ban on niqabs even though he issued a directive in 2011 banning women from wearing them during citizenship ceremonies..."

cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
Exhibit I: Public Health Guarantee.

(He must have had his fingers crossed while signing it I guess)
globalnews.ca/news/6241524/n… Image
Exhibit J: Adriana LaGrange caught in a lie about school board funding on Reddit
reddit.com/r/alberta/comm…
Exhibit K: I was only on vacation for two weeks and was available the whole time but oddly enough, I was actually away 3 weeks and my calendar was empty. 🤷‍♂️
calgary.ctvnews.ca/kenney-s-calen…
Exhibit L: Who could forget the kamikaze campaign and the allegations that Jason Kenney cheated and lied his way to victory? We haven't forgotten Jason.
cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
Exhibit M: And of course, Rachel Notley was kicked out of the House for calling out Jason Nixon for lying about firing the election commissioner that was investigating Kenney. 🤥
calgary.citynews.ca/2019/11/19/not…
Exhibit N: Remember when Sonya Savage said that they would pause coal leases, but it was really only 11 coal leases or 0.2% that they were pausing? I remember.

thetyee.ca/Analysis/2021/…
ANYWAYS, this was going to be a short thread but I just kept finding more and more examples.

As I said, I will never understand the ease at which Jason Kenney and his team of miscreants lie. Demand better Alberta. 2023 can't come soon enough.
#betteroffwithrachel #ableg
Okay let's keep going.
Exhibit O “One thing I think we’re learning, epidemiologically, is that [the homeless] population has a very high level of immune resistance, of immunity and resilience against an influenza of this nature” UHH WHAT?
theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta…
Exhibit P: (How could I have forgotten about this one?)
Exhibit Q
"Widespread endorsement for curriculum review"
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
Looks like we've got Exhibit R, hot off the press, another easily disproven lie from the Premier. 🤦‍♂️
Do I get to add this as Exhibit S of Kenney lying to Albertans? Why yes, I think I do. 🤥

Exhibit T of UCP lies: @NACMilliken caught in a lie and called out by @Dave_Khan who is threating to report him to the Law Society, refuses to back down.🍿

Some thoughts on the recently announced Critical Worker Benefit. Grab a coffee☕️ #ableg cause this is going to be a thread.🧵

First, let me say that I'm glad @jkenney is finally spending the money @JustinTrudeau sent AB. Overall, this is a good thing. But I have...questions
1/9
First, let's temper our praise here... The Fed Govt sent $$ to every province in MAY 2020 earmarked for critical workers.
This money was always destined for Albertans and Kenney sat on it while other provinces got it out to the workers that needed it. 2/9

cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
Why do private sector employees have to rely on their employer to apply and distribute Gov't funds? That seems like a...strange...decision.

What if an employer doesn't know or doesn't bother? What if they don't distribute it properly? Is there any recourse? Just...strange. 3/9

So according to Sonya Savage 6 existing coal leases can go forward on Category 2 land, pending AER approval...

I believe that'd be:
Valory Resources, Atrum Coal, Montem Resources, Cabin Ridge, Ram River Coal Corp and Jameson Resources.

#mountainsnotmines #ableg

1/3
I already did a thread on Atrum Coal, remember their Elan Hard Coking project? 230 sq km of coal mining from Crowsnest Pass all the way to Chain Lakes!


2/3
And Ram River, just about the same size, feeding into Edmonton, Red Deer, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba's drinking water. Excellent!


Keep up the fight folks! #mountainsnotmines

THREAD🧵🚨 #ableg

If you look at the companies with coal leases in AB you'll notice they're VERY small companies that only exist for a specific project (Ex. Montem, Ram River, Atrum) or they're a subsidiary of a mining major. (Benga)

We should all be concerned about this... 1/n
For instance...
Montem: 0.23 cents per share, market cap $46M, Sept 2020 IPO

Atrum $0.26 cents per share $150M market cap

Benga, limited subsidiary of Riversdale resources, which is a subsidiary of the mining giant Hancock Prospecting (still with me?) 2/n
Companies like Montem and Atrum with market caps in the 10s or 100s of millions don't have a chance at being able to pay cleanup costs unless the project is a screaming success.

For comparison, Teck Coal has a market cap of 12.59 BILLION.

Who's on the hook then? Albertans. 3/n

I heard @jkenney likes penguins. The penguins have joined the fight!🐧✊

It would be a shame if people RT/liked or saved this image and posted it in response to UCP MLA's tweets, especially @JasonNixonAB @sonyasavage @adrianalagrange @RicMcIver @shandro @demetriosnAB @devindvote @doug_schweitzer

A real shame.... 🐧#PenguinResistance #ableg

OK #ableg #mountainsnotmines #defendabparks I read up on the Ram Coal Corp leases near Nordegg.

Another thread on one of many coal companies aiming to set up shop in Alberta, putting our mountains, water, and nature at risk.

Today's focus: Water 1/10

⏬🚨⏬THREAD ⏬🚨⏬
Here's a map of Ram Coal Corp's leases and their "Aries" project. All on former cat 2 land where open pit coal mining would have been prevented by the now rescinded 1976 coal policy

200+ sq km of leased land for coal exploration, only 15km from the N. Sask river. 🏞️
2/10
Remember @albertandp plan to protect the Bighorn Wilderness that the UCP were angry about and scrapped?

"There was a tremendous amount of economic concerns and questions that were not answered." - Jason Nixon

Economic concerns like....coal mines?🧐

OK #ableg and #mountainsnotmines Friends:🚨
I took a look through Atrum Coal's project documents for their Elan coal (open pit mining) project in Southern Alberta so that you don't have to.

First, let's start with an overview of the project...🧵 1/8
Located on former cat 2 lands, the open pit mining site "possesses the potential for multiple large scale mining operations", covering 230 sq km from Crowsnest Pass to Chain Lakes🤯

Oh, and is that the Oldman River on the southern end of it? Why yes, yes it is. 2/8
This is from their investment video -- "We're going to make a lot of money but say bye bye to that mountain" 👋 3/8
